ABSTRACT
The presence of women in medicine and urology has been increasing. However, there is a large disparity in leadership positions. In 2017, women constituted 3.3% of chairs, 4.5% of vice-chairs, and 7.9% of division directors in the United States,[1] similar positions in Colombia. It is unclear why this deep gender gap exists in urology. Multifactorial and specialty-specific factors may include lack of mentorship, sponsorship, and limited female role models in leadership positions.[2] According to the Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), many women do not find mentors in surgical specialties. This lack of mentorship may limit women from accessing similar opportunities to their male counterparts.
RESUMEN
La presencia de mujeres en la medicina y la urología ha ido en aumento. Sin embargo, existe una gran disparidad en los puestos de liderazgo. En 2017, las mujeres constituían el 3,3% de las cátedras, el 4,5% de las vicepresidencias y el 7,9% de los directores de división en Estados Unidos,[1] cargos similares en Colombia. No está claro por qué existe esta profunda brecha de género en urología. Según la Asociación de Facultades de Medicina (AAMC), muchas mujeres no encuentran mentores en las especialidades quirúrgicas. Esta falta de mentores puede limitar el acceso de las mujeres a oportunidades similares a las de sus homólogos masculinos.
